Just watched the remake of the magnificent seven... that deadly seven mini is awesome (not sure if its parody based or not).

Warcradle, any more deadly seven spoilers? I thought outlaw minis had resin masters cut for them, but there are no pics anywhere!!! The mini shown above looks awesome.

Have to say 2017 is looking like a good year with 8th edition, swa, and more WWX

All new sculpts

I'm sure that they're obviously easy to find, probably right in front of me, but...

...can someone link to the 'how to get your softcover' instructions again, please?

Thanks!

From the WWX Blog (you have to fill out a form on the blog as part of this http://blog.wildwestexodus.com/secondedition ):

Free Second edition rulebook

So, you want to know how to get a copy of the Second Edition rules for free? Great!

First off, you will need a copy of the First Edition rules. Already own the Wild West Exodus First Edition rulebook? Any First Edition rulebook counts, including a copy from the Two Player Starter Set! Great, carry on. No? Not a problem, you can pick one up for just £10 at your FLGS stockist or online here.

Ok, so you have your First Edition book, how do you get the Second Edition rules and what will you be getting?

What you get - The current plan is for us to send a beautiful A4 colour softback rulebook (over 100 pages) to your local FLGS for you to collect. It will contain all of the rules for Second Edition, along with some background and hundreds of photos/artwork.

Want more? - We will also be releasing a deluxe (400+ pages) hardback rulebook for people to buy, more information on this product coming soon.

Before you fill out the form below please do the following steps:

1) Share a photo of yourself with the 1st edition rulebook (at least one, but more is great)
2) Tag us into the photo with @wildwestexodus and use the hashtag #wwxrules
3) Tag in your local gaming store where you would like to collect your book from (if you have one). No FLGS? No problem, we will send it directly to you.
4) Fill in the form below with links to your social accounts where you have posted your images.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information coming out each week!

Recieved my Captain Nimue model today (thanks to an awesome fellow dakka member - thanks!!). I have to say it is awesome, full of detail, and the quality seems higher than most plastics out there. Very happy with my first warcradle plastic, it is as good if not better than the outlaw plastics (which were/are awesome as top quality too).

Kudos warcradle; the cards, resins, and plastics you have designed and released so far have exceeded all expectation. Keep up the awesome work!

We are not going to be policing the social media thing, just saying

Will it be possible to just email you the picture instead of sharing it on social media?

If not, I understand why, I'd just like that option if possible.

Some images of a few of the new Wayward Eight designs have surfaced on FB:





There were some other close-up shots of the other two, as well as another tease/leaked image of Aztec/Mayan type designs, but for some reason I couldn't get them to load right in Photobucket (that site is such a pain...)

Can you guys elaborate more on:

'Heroes can pass wounds onto hands within 3″ or use influence to reroll the ‘guts’ stat.'

Are you saying each hero has the ability to redirect the trajectory of a shot onto lesser units? Seems a bit silly if thats whats meant by this...

wrong device, sorry

While I haven't been able to play or read the new rules yet, I am guessing the mechanic represents a flow of bodies moving in close proximity and the ability of the leader amongst them to make best use of mobile cover. I can kind of see that making sense from a group in motion with members weaving in an out around one another. Quite curious to see the complete rules on paper when the Open Beta Testing begins.

Pretty much that, yes. It's gone through a few iterations but in its current state, you can spend a fortune chip to change the target model to another within 3"

It's more the second model dives in the way, thematically. Rather than thinking of bullets bending paths.

Also a very good way of thinking of it.

is there a timeframe on when we should be taking the pictures and expecting rulebooks?

i havent done mine yet and dont want to miss the opportunity.

I would advise sooner rather than later. Plan is for books to be available once we launch the game in September, but I would get in before that so we have you on the list. I will find out specifics from the mothership ASAP.

Remember everyone, open beta starts on the 15th. All preview rules and cards will be available online, and we want your help spotting and ironing out those last few kinks in the language (know what its supposed to say, we want to make sure it reads that way )

Just back from two days in the studio meeting many of the creative team behind the game (Brandon is my new hero!)

Here's a blog post about a recent demo at a games shop of the second edition rules:

http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/wild-west-exodus-demo-evening-at-titan.html

Just a few days until the Beta Rules are posted (is it Monday yet?)

Introducing Legendary Marie Laveau! Available in stores July 2017.
Don't forget the Second Edition Beta test will Launch 15th May (Noon GMT).

Marie Laveau?
HOT...

Looking at these designs, I am increasingly hopeful that:

1) We will get a YoSafBridge model (or maybe there is a not-model in existence already)
2) The Dark Nation will ramp up the gribbly factor, going for horror or just plain gross. Right now, most of them look too much like they are still part of the Warrior Nation.

Gribbly monsters you say... hmmm, that would be a thing now wouldn't it.

Loving the new wayward eight. Can't wait for the seven, and possibly the four horsemen (if they are ever to be made!).

Isn't today the day for the beta testing of 2nd edition? Pretty excited!

Rules are starting to be uploaded here. Enjoy.

Thank you for posting that here, Jon!

No worries sir.

Go, download and break our precious

Seriously though, we are looking for any and all feedback on any typos, rules inconsistency or anything that doesn't read as clearly as it might.

For veterans of first edition, this may all seem a little alien at first, but dig beneath the surface and you will find the same core concepts you know and love in there, just given a fresh coat of paint.

Looking forward to hearing back from folks as they playtest.

Thats right, we are very excited to announce that the Beta rules are now live.

http://www.wildwestexodus.com/content/66-rules

out of curiosity, are the templates the same size as the fancy templates that we received in the original kickstarter?
sorry to be impatient... who wants to wait until after work to figure cool gaming stuff out

Afraid not. The classic template was considered a little too unwieldy for the updated, faster paced nature of second edition.

There are two templates now, blast and torrent.

I'm trying to get the exact sizes, but there is a file to DL on the site already (which my enterprising mate is already running through a laser cutter...)

Blast is a circle, torrent is a tear drop

Automatically Appended Next Post:
yikes... no zip or anything to download all of the cards at once?
its going to take me a bit one at a time

out of curiosity, whats going on with outlaws?
they're the only ones that are incomplete.

Yeah, the cards really should be in a big pdf.

Also the rulebook mentions a "Take one for the team" special rule, can't find it, assume it got cut?

Ah I see, it's in the Fortune spending part.

Beaten to the punch. Yes, its a fortune related rule (now )

So the cards per faction are available in PDF documents (all cards per faction in one document), so it was either added after I looked or I'm bad at looking.

I'm going with the latter.

Yup, it was changed after you looked. I have seen them as separate cards and as a faction pdf (much nicer in the large pdf). I saw the hex as single character pdf's and now that faction seems down at the moment (probably being updated to one large pdf).

Are mercs ousted, or are they part of the outlaw faction we haven't seen yet? I see some of the merc minis are in the store under the outlaw faction now. I figured they'd have their own faction as not all mercs are 'bad'.

Rules look interesting, time to start printing cards and playtesting

Printed and read through the Beta Rules today. There was much I liked, but some things I really didn't like. Need some time to consider my words before posting my thoughts, as I wish to be constructive rather than just complain.
